621 * @defgroup tevent_request The tevent request functions.
622 * @ingroup tevent
624 * A tevent_req represents an asynchronous computation.
626 * The tevent_req group of API calls is the recommended way of
627 * programming async computations within tevent. In particular the
628 * file descriptor (tevent_add_fd) and timer (tevent_add_timed) events
629 * are considered too low-level to be used in larger computations. To
630 * read and write from and to sockets, Samba provides two calls on top
631 * of tevent_add_fd: tstream_read_packet_send/recv and tstream_writev_send/recv.
632 * These requests are much easier to compose than the low-level event
633 * handlers called from tevent_add_fd.
635 * A lot of the simplicity tevent_req has brought to the notoriously
636 * hairy async programming came via a set of conventions that every
637 * async computation programmed should follow. One central piece of
638 * these conventions is the naming of routines and variables.
640 * Every async computation needs a name (sensibly called "computation"
641 * down from here). From this name quite a few naming conventions are
642 * derived.
644 * Every computation that requires local state needs a
645 * @code
646 * struct computation_state {
647 * int local_var;
648 * };
649 * @endcode
650 * Even if no local variables are required, such a state struct should
651 * be created containing a dummy variable. Quite a few helper
652 * functions and macros (for example tevent_req_create()) assume such
653 * a state struct.
655 * An async computation is started by a computation_send
656 * function. When it is finished, its result can be received by a
657 * computation_recv function. For an example how to set up an async
658 * computation, see the code example in the documentation for
659 * tevent_req_create() and tevent_req_post(). The prototypes for _send
660 * and _recv functions should follow some conventions:
662 * @code
663 * struct tevent_req *computation_send(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx,
664 * struct tevent_req *ev,
665 * ... further args);
666 * int computation_recv(struct tevent_req *req, ... further output args);
667 * @endcode
669 * The "int" result of computation_recv() depends on the result the
670 * sync version of the function would have, "int" is just an example
671 * here.
673 * Another important piece of the conventions is that the program flow
674 * is interrupted as little as possible. Because a blocking
675 * sub-computation requires that the flow needs to continue in a
676 * separate function that is the logical sequel of some computation,
677 * it should lexically follow sending off the blocking
678 * sub-computation. Setting the callback function via
679 * tevent_req_set_callback() requires referencing a function lexically
680 * below the call to tevent_req_set_callback(), forward declarations
681 * are required. A lot of the async computations thus begin with a
682 * sequence of declarations such as
684 * @code
685 * static void computation_step1_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
686 * static void computation_step2_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
687 * static void computation_step3_done(struct tevent_req *subreq);
688 * @endcode
690 * It really helps readability a lot to do these forward declarations,
691 * because the lexically sequential program flow makes the async
692 * computations almost as clear to read as a normal, sync program
693 * flow.
695 * It is up to the user of the async computation to talloc_free it
696 * after it has finished. If an async computation should be aborted,
697 * the tevent_req structure can be talloc_free'ed. After it has
698 * finished, it should talloc_free'ed by the API user.
700 * @{
704 * An async request moves from TEVENT_REQ_INIT to
